Three
Museums
day
Well
today
was
a
visit
to
three
museums
in
close
proximity
to
each
other
in
Bogota.
The
military
museum,
the
police
museum
and
Botero
Art
museum.
This
is
a
collective
entry
as
they
are
all
about
the
same
excellent
standard,
have
the
same
amenities,
all
are
free
and
all
have
the
same
pitfall
of
limited
or
lack
of
English
signage/audio
assistance.
All
are
of
a
moderate
size
with
cafes
and
toilets.
Allow
1-2
hours
for
each
one.
Military
Museum:
Interesting
and
obviously
stocked
with
a
historical
variety
of
firearms,
cannons
and
a
few
vehicles
and
airframes.
Well
set
out
and
presented
over
several
floors.
Police
Museum:
Again
interesting
and
also
well
stocked
with
a
variety
of
firearms
over
several
floors.
A
few
interesting
rooms
worth
a
look
at
too
especially
the
‘war
against
drugs’
room.
Botero
Art
Museum:
I
am
not
a
big
fan
of
Fernando
Botero
but
I
must
be
in
the
minority
seeing
as
he’s
worth
over
$200,000,000.
Anyway
a
really
well
laid
out
multi
floored
museum
again.
As
well
as
a
large
amount
of
Boteros
work,
paintings
and
sculptures,
there
are
notable
pieces
by
Picasso,
Renoir,
Bacon
and
Monet
which
I
didn’t
expect.
All
in
all
a
good
day’s
sightseeing.
